Are You In the Mood? Advance Review: Surviving Jack – “Pilot”

Surviving Jack is a comedy based on best-selling author Justin Halpern’s autobiographical book, “I Suck at Girls.” Set in 1990s Southern California, the show kind of reminds me of Shit My Dad Says but as a younger version. Meloni plays this buttoned-up doctor, Jack Dunlevy, who is taking over the household duty of looking after the kids, both teens at this point, while his beloved wife goes back to school to fulfill her dreams of becoming a lawyer. Well, let’s just say Jack doesn’t really have quite the finesse Joanne would in certain situations and what ensues is nothing short of awkward hilarity with some eyebrow raising, laugh out loud fun.

So I am beyond excited to see Crystal’s new special, 700 Sundays, debuting April 19, 2014 at 9:00 pm ET/PT on HBO. 700 Sundays is Crystal’s sixth HBO special and is an adaption of his autobiographical long running, Tony-winning Broadway show.
